TODAY'S HEADLINES THE STANDARD: OPEN BRIBERY Ol Kalou transforms from a forgotten backwater into a cash-and-project frenzy as Kenya Kwanza unleashes a brazen spending spree. Critics decry daylight vote-buying, yet the IEBC stands exposed: issuing impotent warnings while appearing utterly powerless to enforce its own code of conduct. DAILY NATION: BATTLE OF BIGWIGS AT OL KALOU The Ol Kalou by-election erupts into a high-stakes political war, pitting President Ruto against predecessors Kenyatta and Gachagua. It is a critical Mt Kenya referendum for 2027 supremacy. Meanwhile, the IEBC dramatically threatens to postpone or cancel the poll amidst rising insecurity and unabated bribery. PEOPLE DAILY: GAMEPLAN Ruto deploys a calculated pre-2027 strategy, systematically neutralising political threats early. Meanwhile, the IEBC confronts an uphill struggle to enforce electoral rules, its authority increasingly questioned and its capacity to police the coming high-stakes race appearing dangerously compromised.

CFAO Mobility Kenya has some of the best Market Research Analysts we have in the country. ​They recognized a high potential market opportunity to disrupt and scale within the informal Matatu sector and the commercial logistics industry (Trucking). Part 1: The Matatu Card. 🚐 In 2021 Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya made an announcement that surprised many and had a huge impact on the Matatu Industry. This announcement had some car dealers in the gray market ( dealers in foreign used vehicles) saying that the move would not see the light of day. Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya dropped the price of the Toyota Hiace H200 Commuter van to Ksh.4.51 Million. A price tag equivalent to that of an 8 year old foreign used (Mtumba) H200 Commuter van. How did they do this? Before 2021, fully built imported Hiace vans (FBUs) were slapped with steep import duties that inflated showroom prices. In June of 2021, CFAO Mobility officially commissioned their first dedicated local assembly line for the Hiace H200 at the Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) plant in Mombasa. The reasoning behind this is move was to take advantage of government granting zero-rated import duties and excise tax exemptions on Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits. CFAO immediately passed these huge tax savings onto buyers, lowering brand-new unit costs equivalent to the price of 8-year-old second-hand (mtumba) imports. By last year, (2025), annual sales of the Hiace climbed drastically to 1,176 units, a 65.1% increase from 712 units in 2024 To keep up with this massive demand from mainly matatus, school transport, and others, CFAO Mobility launched an additional KES 2.3 billion production line for the Hiace at the Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) plant in Thika in June 2026. Today over 90% of Toyota Hiace Commuter Vans bought for Matatu use are brand new (Zero mileage). Stay tuned for Part 2: The Truck Card... Photo Credits to Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya.
